Arthur Henderson was convicted of two violent rapes in Ross Township and one in Hopewell Township, Beaver County. The attacks occurred last January at apartment complexes. In each attack, Henderson forced women back inside their apartments and raped them.

During his trial, Henderson acted as his own attorney. He argued that DNA evidence linking him to all three crimes did not prove he committed rape. However, the victims testified during the trial, detailing for the court how Henderson committed his crimes.

Because Henderson acted as his own attorney, all three victims were forced to answer questions from their attacker on the stand.

In court Tuesday, his victims faced him again. Without wavering, each one stood and asked the judge to give Henderson the maximum sentence. She did.

“I experienced hell. I was tortured and imprisoned in my own home, helpless and alone," said one victim.

“Now, I’m dealing with the stench of Arthur Henderson. Now I will live the rest of my life trying to get over this," said another victim.

One victim's father got up in court and told Henderson, "You are less than a man. You are not fit for society."

Prosecutor Laura Ditka said after the sentence, “I hope he never sees the light of day. He’s about 40 years old and 60 years should ensure that.”

All three victims also told the judge that the attacks will forever change them, but not define them.
